Real Elopement: Monica + James in NYC

I love the sweet, intimate feeling of elopements. Captured by Sasha Felix Photography, Monica and James flew in from Miami for their perfect NYC elopement. A small group of friends and family witnessed the couples exchange of vows on a perfect fall day in Central Park. The day started in a fabulous suite at the Plaza before a ride to the park in a horse drawn carriage. The bride was absolutely stunning in her beautiful gown!

Real Wedding: Kerrie + Eric in Melbourne

I love getting event submissions from other countries. It is such a great opportunity to see how people around the world celebrate! Captured by Lizzy C Photography, Kerrie and Eric were married last November in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia at the Yering Station. The couple enjoyed their day with many laughs and not an ounce of stress. Kerrie was a ball of energy, especially considering that she is carrying around a little plus one! Guests enjoyed a delicious array of food and wine while gazing out over Yarra Valley, Australia’s wine region. Scattered with modern art, the station grounds created a playground for this fun-loving couple.

Real Wedding: Christie + Charles in St. Louis

Today’s feature wedding is overflowing with gorgeous modern details! Photographed by Karey Michelle Photography, Christie and Charles were married last June in a destination wedding in St. Louis, Missouri. Their Catholic ceremony took place at the beautiful Old Cathedral (Basilica of St. Louis, King), the oldest cathedral west of the Mississippi. The couple’s reception was originally planned for the Gateway Arch Riverboat Cruise, but unfortunately the river flooded the weekend of their wedding. An alternate plan was carried out with a fabulous reception at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at The Arch. Following the reception, Christie and Charles exited via horse and carriage…complete with a “just married” sign! I love the bold mixing of bright colors in the floral arrangements and centerpieces. Orange, pink, blue and purple are used to create a super modern atmosphere.
